Where the Big Boys Play #73 - WCW / New Japan Supershow 92

Regarding why NJ was a bigger draw that AJ, I think it may come down to NJ presenting a more 'entertainment' orientated product. They had production values, angles, characters, whereas AJ was more conservative, more about what happens in the ring.

Interesting show (I mean WTBBP - the Dome show was middling).

 

Chad, really enjoyed your social commentary on Dusty's place in blue collar America. Slightly surprised Parv didn't bring up his fondness for Bob Dylan quotes.

 

Also liked how you both weaved in a little talk about Japanese guys for GWE.

Chad's soliloquy on Dusty is probably in his top 5 WTBBP moments. The others being his reaction to Sting / Black Scorpian magician. Blanking on Lyle Alzado and getting shit for it for about 3 months, mainly from Pete. Claiming Al Perez as a lost worker and getting shit for it for about 3 months, mainly from Pete. And probably his analysis of Steamboat / Flair, Clash 6. :D

Other great moments that Parv and Chad did in the early days were doing the commercial segments. So we had a Brit, who's never seen them pitching to Chad to explain them when Chad was only 5 when they aired. I think the record was 7 in a row of neither guy being familiar with the product. The finishing touch was Parv asking Chad if he thought the product that Chad has no memory of was still used or made to this day.

Yes!! That was an amazing bit.

 

I remember the discussion of the Lethal Lottery being pretty damn great too.

As a fan of several comic book re-read and TV show re-watch podcasts, I get a kick whenever the hosts go over the ads in the book or commercials left in whatever format they got the program in, whether they were alive or cognitive enough to recall at the time or not. It always makes for a nice time capsule for the listener, that goes beyond the content of the books (or TV shows for that matter). But I guess that's just me since the overwhelming majority seemed to be anti-ads.
